I stopped Smoking with Dignity- It didn't work

June 25, 2008

Well what do I mean by that? Who is Dignity?

Dignity is not a person but it is allowing me to breath like a person not an addict to cigerettes. I would grovel for a smoke- must have one at all costs.Now I can hold my head up high, I have achieved being smoke -free without that crippling crutch of a bad habit.

While I was on Red Bubble I would puff away while waiting for my image to down load. Just enough time to finish a smoke. Smoko was frequent, I had so many smoking-related heath problems but still I wouldn’t wake up and throw that parasite off me. The purposeful breathing of that smoke gave me excitement that only death defying tricks can give. I was hooked. I tried everything.

Now I have my answer. I have started medication designed to help people stop smoking and I feel success. It’s a terrible defeated feeling when you know it’s yourself that’s dragging you down and you seem not able to do any thing about it. The drug has given me power over my addiction for the first time. It has helped my mind block out the need, changed it to a weak want and I can live with dignity.

I used Zyban but Champax is supposed to be better. But you have to be prescribed by a Doctor because their are side affects & warnings. I have had no side affects except elation that I’ve stopped smoking & have command over my hand to mouth disease. Good luck

Mark Twain once said, “quitting smoking was the easiest thing to do, I did it over a thousand times!” No doubt nicotine is one of the most addictive and destructive drugs on the open market. Kudos to you Cathie for having the willpower to give up this nasty addiction. it has been over twenty five years since my last smoke, and I am hoping you will say the same thing in 2033! I’m proud of you Cathie!
